Fuji FinePix A120 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You don't need any special software. The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo management program such as Picasa. Organize edit and share your photos

If your camera is truly the Finepix A120, it uses xd picture cards, not SDHC cards.

Hi, the first thing to try would be to get another memory card for the camera as it could just be that the card is no longer working, failing that the problem will be with the firmware on the camera and this will need taking it to get sorted, try the memory card first and see what happens.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

Either the camera is having a battery problem, or a lens issue:
Here are a couple sites that explain what you can do to try to correct this:

and:

Even though the article is entitled "lens error", it also applies to stuck lens issues.
Good luck, hope this helps, and thanks for using FixYa.

you must go to menu and select format card, this should resolve the issue.

If your camera has a serial number starting with 4Bxx og 4Cxx, you may need to update the firmware.
Firmware is available her: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/#firmware

If your camera has a serialnumber starting with 4B or 4C, you need to update the firmware to the latest version. Firmware can be downloaded here:
http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital/download/a120/fupd.html
Or, if your card just needs to be formatted:
Press Menu/OK, select Set, select Setup, select Format, press OK.

you could try doing it manually, go to my computer open your camera, and select your pic files and ctr+c and ctr+v on folder where you want them to be or just drag them to my pictures folder or wherever you want

Try this site for a firmware update. You need to get a AC power adapter for it to work though. It is from Fuji and it worked fine for my A120. The older XD cards are of a different format then the newer ones so if your new XD card has an 'M' on it you will need to do the firmware solution.
Good luck

change the image size

try resetting the camera!

if you have XP or Vista, just go to "My Computer" and you will see your card as another removable memory/media, double click on it and you'll see the folders for your card.

good luck

Please read all of post first!
try reformating thd sd card BUT remember everything on the card will be lost. I'v had that happen when I moved my card to another piece of equipment and then back again.
IF there ARE pictures on the card then try another card reader to pull them off before formating the card.
some copyers, scanners, even some pc's have readers in them, or maybe a freind.
hope that helps :)

Try looking at http://www.fujifilm.ca/x3719.xml for firmware or software updates as well as new drivers for your camera. If you are using an upgraded XD card try putting the original back in.
Then follow the directions for doing the updates to use your new card. If all else fails time for a new camera.
Good luck and have a great summer.

Try using the Fuji site for downloading the drivers for your computer. If you are trying to upgrade your XD card to an M type you will have to also down load the FIRMWARE for it as well.

On the left side of the screen are selections for the drivers and firmware updates.
Have fun and good luck.

Yep you need to get an AC adapter. Can get a multiple voltage one at electronics store cheaply enough. Cheaper than getting an actual Fuji one that is for sure..
Then try to download the firmware for it from Fuji and that should do the trick... If not like you said time to get a new one.
Good luck.

You will need to do a firmware update to be able to use your new 'M' XD card. Also you will need a AC adapter to be able to use the update for your camera.
It is a Fuji site and it works.
Good luck.

Hmmm not sure what this has to do with a Fuji camera (illustrated)

A good photo shop type program will let you turn colour into black and white pictures easily. Paint shop pro has been a standard and favorite of mine since it came out. Lots of editing functions and lots of interesting extras to play with.
I believe the latest version is PSP12
good luck and happy editing
